Brazilian forward Neymar has denied that money was the motivating factor for his 222 million euro transfer from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain. Instead, his familys happiness was a driving factor in the decision, Neymar said.13 days ago

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger described Neymars prospective record-breaking transfer to Paris Saint-Germain as beyond rationality. The Brazilian forward is on the verge of a move to the Parisian side from Barcelona for a fee of 222 million euro. Wenger said it is difficult to respect Financial Fair Play regulations when a state owns a football club and views a player like Neymar as good investment for their country. The Arsenal manager also said his side cannot compete at the same financial level as PSG and that a player is worth whatever a buying club can afford to spend. Neymars move appeared to hit a roadblock on Thursday as La Liga rejected the payment of his Barcelona release clause, though it was not immediately clear whether it would put the brakes on the transfer.13 days ago
